Although I am sure that Obama is a great speaker and is probably very persuasive, it scares me that Republicans are quick to throw principle aside in order to get along. I am NOT saying they should simply be obstacles, they should stand on principle.
In the article “GOP-ers Swoon Over Obama Despite Differences” it appears to me that most Republicans are more concerned about perceived bi-partisanship and being like by the new President than having any principles. The following comment shows that Republicans are NO conservatives:
“There’s real desire in this room to figure a way back to prosperity,” Inglis wrote on Twitter. “[The president] and Republicans here [are] expressing deep concern about unemployment.”
Conservatives (not Republicans) would say that the correct way back to prosperity has nothing to do with government. It seems that Republicans do not agree with that view.
I also think that Republicans are going to learn a lesson fairly quickly from a pretty solid political being. Obama is going to get what he wants with or without them. Any one remember the comment “I won”.
I think that the GOP better learn that the base is not looking at this so-called bi-partisanship as a positive thing. We aren’t electing Republicans to be well liked. We are electing them to have some values and principles. I think that many of us are going to be sorely disappointed.
